To be completely honest, we’re not sure if Pierre here was being entirely serious when he tweeted about white people and the grocery divider at the store but OMG we lol’d when we saw it.
White people can’t wait to put the grocery divider on the conveyor belt at Kroger… bitch I don’t want yo raisins too close to my ramen noodles anyway

Of course, then when we saw people on his tweet taking it seriously and claiming that putting the grocery divider up is actually racist we stopped thinking it was funny. Dude, who has time to sit around and come up with this amount of crazy?
You know what, don’t answer that.
Please tell us she’s kidding.
Her bio says she’s a troll so we’re really hoping she is but yeah …
How is putting a divider up "micro passive aggressive"..? The grocery divider is there for that reason to separate one customers goods from another & all races use it.. latin, white, and black have used it for me.. guess every race is passive aggressive..

We honestly just saw it as a way to keep orders separated.
Seemingly innocuous actions become aggressive depending on subtle body language. My guess is it’s the lack of eye contact and the frantic speed of laying down that divider.

Dafuq?!
Welp Paul a lot of black people have societal/generational PTSD from slavery, Jim Crow, or not even the historical context let’s just say white micro aggressive behaviors. Likeeee weaponizing police with a single phone call… orrr who knows just so many things! I mean pick

Ok, she might have been serious.
And eeek.
Every human does that… bc that’s… what it was designed for… to separate customers groceries…

Ya’ think?
As a cashier this is very helpful because there has been too many times when someone doesn’t put it down and then yells at me for bagging it with other peoples stuff

Apparently, it could be seen as a micro-aggression?
Crazy times.
But it’s the nice thing to do pic.twitter.com/xMB64YTKkc

It is! He was saying when it’s done as a micro aggression, though, and we can honestly tell the difference
— ArchGynoid (@ThenamesBria) August 17, 2018
Alrighty then.
More evidence White people are ruining the world.?
